To all 'whom z't'm-a'g/ concern.'

Be it known that I, ADOLPH RYnQUIs'r, of l Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful 'Improvements in Check- Controlled Apparatus; and I do hereby debe a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the reference-numerals marked thereon.

My yinvention relates to check controlled apparatus, and it has for itsobject to simplify the construction of this class of machines, and with such simplilied arrangement to afford van arrangement of parts that w'ill enable the machine to be readily operated, and to reduce to a minimum the liability of the parts getting out of order. A further purpose of my invention consists in providing certain novel features, intended for sorting the coins, and rendering the machine inoperative upon the lnsertlon of a spurious coin or check, the construction and provide for testing a check both as to thickness and diameter, and for rejecting an im- Still a further purpose of my improvements resides in providing a construction whereby when an improper check is inserted, it can be ejected from the machine by an operation ofthe same device that'is -used to work the machine when a4 proper coin is inserted, the coin being discharged rom the same opening into which it is inserted. Still a .further purpose contemplated by my invention is to aiiord means for positively dischar 'ng the coin from the carrier at the'end of the operation, so as to avoid any possibility permanently in the carrier and lockingthe To these and other ends the invention consists in certain improvements and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully de'- scribed, the novel .features being pointed out in the claims at the end of the specification.

Y fully hereinafter, and

Similar reference numerals vertical sectional of Fig. 25, and

the

throughout the several figures indicate thefsame' parts.l For convenience in the followmg description, I will employ the term check, check-controlled, refer to a coin, slug,

that might be employed to operate a and and intend'thereby to of any form of blank chine` of this sort, and it will be understood that in the majority of instances, a coin this purpose.

In the present embodiment, showing a preferred conthe operating A designates a suitable casing,

mechanism being located the lower partthereof and controlled by a check carrier which I will describe more into which a c may be inserted through the aperture heck rLlhe structure shown in Figs. l and 2 'is applicable particularly to a machine for vending smalll articles such as chewing gum and candy in packages, i tion may readily be applied'to of vending apparatus, and in although the invenother types the present structure thereare shown two receptacles or chutes A3 within placed` as shown in receptacles A3 which the goods Fig. 6. Each of are the provided with a delivering. device, which preferably consists of a pair of disks b connected by the circularly arranged rods 52. I the delivering ,devices are cut away Each of the disks b of otherwise constructed to form correspondingly located recesses b3 which coperate with the lowermost article in the receptacle is operated as shown in Fig. 6.

carrier b* 1s a weighted follower which drops into the recess bs when the merchandise is exhausted,

and prevents further operation of the chine. The rods b2 are' extended beyond the plates or disks b as shown in Fig. 2

and are arranged tobe engaged by an a ator'which may comprise a/rack bar c,

ctuand with an operating handle 08.

is suitably operated by the check `carrier 55 in a manner which will presently appear. The actuator c is adjustable to coperate with either one of the pair of delivering devices, so that the same check carrier mechanism may be utilized for controlling different articles of merchandise. 'To this end, the lactuator c is capable of a slight lateral play as shown in Fig. 3, and is engaged by the projections c? which are arranged upon the guide plate c". The guide plate es has an upstanding portion 04, he edge of which is -provided with a series of Yteeth c arranged to be engaged by a toothed segment c". The segment c6 is 'fixed upon a shaft c7 extending to the front of the machine Where it is provided The shaft c7 also carries an indicator c which is' `disposed behind the transparent plate 01 and can lbe seen through the opening c of the casing as shown in Figs. 6 and 8. /When the machine is to be operated, the person rst turns the handle ca to the right or left according to what it is desired to purchase, and the indicator 09 shows which article willl be delivered. As long as the actuator c is in its intermediate position, it cannot be operated owing to the engagement of a shoulder 012 with the flange 013 formed upon the plate o, but when the actuator is adjusted to one side or the other, it can travel vertically through one or the other of the recesses 015 which are provided in said plate en.

The guide plate c is cut away at 62, the adjacent portions being beveled at 021. The cut away portions 02 ceive the adj acentdisk of the corresponding delivering device, and when one delivering device is free to be actuated, the guide plate c3 engages a recess-c22 vin one of the disks of the `other delivering it against movement.

The actuator c embodies a right angle portion c1 which is slotted at c to engage `its bearing as shown in Fig. 2 and c is a curved link pivoted at its upper end to the actuator and at its lower end to a crank arm 019 which is' mounted upon' the check carrier and movabletherewith. The check carrier is designated generally at l) and preferably is of circular form, and journaledv on the sleeve d which is suitably mounted in the frame d2. The front of the carrier is 4shown clearly in Figs. 13 to 18 inclusive, being recessed or 'cut away at da and provided with a projection J4. d5 designates a recess in the carrier' for receiving a check, and al is the operating means comprising a segmental late mounted upon a squared portion eZ o the shaft al", and adapted, when turned to the right, to engage the projection d4 and move device and locksv are afforded to relocking abutment d Masacre the carrier. The shaft d is operated by a suitable handle d8 fixed thereon andprojecting outside the casing.

he operation of the machine is prevented, except When a proper check is inserted, by meansofa locking member movably mounted on` the check carrier, and adapted to come into engagement with a stationary abutment after a predetermined movement -of the carrier, and in the present embodiment this isin the form of a movable pin d Which is fixed upon a frame all", and guided by an opening arranged in the plate d, in alinem'ent with the corresponding opening in the carrier, the pin d passing through both of., said openings as shown in Figs. 10 to 12 inclusive. The locking member or pin al is held in its normal position by ,means of the stationary plate 03'12, and abuts against the stop d formed on said plate. The plate 0312 is cut away or beveled to provide a recess at Z13 and a stationary against which the locking member engages' When the carrier is turned as shown in Figs. 10 to 12 inclusive, provided an improper check is inserted, and it will be understood that the movement of the parts from normal position to that shown in Fig. 11 is insutiicient to e'ect an operation of the machine, While if a. proper check has been inserted, the movable locking member will be held out of engagement with the locking abutment, thereby permitting the carrier to be turned farther, to effect a complete operation as Will be explained presently. To this end, I provide a plurality of positioning devices which are so connected with the locking member as to move it into locking engagement with the stationary abutment When the carrier is turned, and said positioning devices are adapted to be controlled by the check when inserted and to be held against movement by said check, and When this condition prevails the locking member is held in such position as to clear thelocking abutment yas shown in Fig.

he purpose of providing a plurality of positioning devices is in order that a check may be tested both as to its thickness and diameter as Well as other characteristics, as I am now about to describe, and 4to this end, I prefer to employ a pair of spring actuated pins d and d1 Which are guided in suitable v openings in the plate d and frame d10 as shown in Figs. 10 and 11, openings providedin the carrler so as to extend into the check receiving recess d5 and to cooperate with the check therein. The positioning pins have fixed thereon disks d and d, and are actuated by springs all and d2respectively so as to move the disks d" and all@ into engagement with the frame andvthus movethe locking member to position for engagement with the stationary and pass through v (310.. lThe springs all andai20 are both of suiicient pressure to overcome the spring dgl, so that if either one of the positioning pins is free to move, it. Will actuate the locking member, but on the other hand, if they are both held against movement by thecheck,

in its northe locking member Will be held mal position by the spring d and permit the carrier to move past the stationary abutment. rIhe positioning pin d is arranged to extend substantially into the central portion of the check recess as shown4 in Figs. 9 to 12 inclusive While the pin elle extends to a point at one edge of said recess so4 as to engage the periphery of the check as shown in Fig. 10. The engaging ends ofthe positioning pins are preferably pointed or conical as shown, andthe check recess has a beveled Wall d at one edge,

is wedged by the engagement of the pin d1 as shown in Fig. 10. From this it Will be seen that the check must be of the proper dimension for which the machine "is designed 'in order to effect an operation.` If the check Fig. 11 shows the position of the partsV when a check is inserted With in the center, and the locking operated by the pin d an opening 1n this manner Whenever a check of this character or one made of cardboard or paper is employed. By this means, I provide a mechanism that Will reject any check that is not of the proper dimensions, the arrangement of parts being very simple and affording a positive and dependable operation under all conditions.

hen an improper coin or check is used, it is desirable to remove it from the machine, and to return it to the operator, and to this end in the present embodiment, I afford means for accomplishing this by turning the handle, Which operates the machine, inv a direction opposite to its normal movement. For this purpose, I prefer to employ a check ejector vvhich in this instance is in the form by the same operating means that turns the carrier. The check i ejecting slide is designated at e, the carrier against Which the checky member is Fig. 18.

e2 to engage the shaft .ing slide is slotted at provided with a Wand has an extension .e3

pin or projectionmet which is engaged by the operating member Z6 when lthe latter is turned to the left as shown in When turned in thisdirection, the check carrier remains stationary while the check ejecting slide moves upwardly check at the same poi serted. The ejector is held in its normalfposition against movement by means o a spring e5 which is arranged on a post e secured upon the carrier, and engages or abuts against an ear e7 formed upon the ejector and extending through a. slot or opening e@ in the carrier.

It is highly important that at the end of the operation of the check carrier, means be provided for insuring the discharge of the check from the carrier into the machine, and to this end I make provision for positively moving the check ejecting slide relatively to the carrier at the termination of the latters movement. This is preferably accomplished by providing a stationary lug Ae" upon the plate d, and arranged at such a point as to engage the projection e4, see Fig. 17, whenthe carrier has been turned the proper distance. This'holds the ejecting slide against further rotative movement, and as the carrier continues to the end of its turning movement, the slide is moved relatively thereto until it has reached the position of Fig. 17 and from the carrier. y

In some instances, it is'possible for an improper coin to successfully operate the positioning devices that I have already described, as for instancea metal check with a flat edge might be employed, and if inserted so as to present its full diameter to the positioning pins, the locking member would not be held against movement. To avoid a possibility vof this sort, I prefer to employ ,a-

supplemental locking device that 1s normally engaged with the check carrier to lock "the latter after a limited movement, and which is moved away from engagement with the carrier by releasing means ar ranged on the carrier and lcontrolled by the inserted check. VIn the present embodiment, the movable locking member consists of a -pawl e1 pivoted ony the shaft e and controlled by thespring 12. The pawl el is normally held in engagement with the car- 'rier by means of said spring and is positioned to drop into the notch or recess @13 when the carrier has moved a limited distance as shown in Fig. 16, unless a proper check is inserted. In the present embodiment, the check ejecting slide already referred to constitutes the releasing means that controls the movable pawl e1 and to arranged to be the operating handle islatter will move re atively to and discharges the nt vwhere it was inthus forces the check this end, said slide Iis provided with a tailpiece or extension e14 adapted to engage the pawl and move it out of locking engagement with the carrie-r as shown in Fig. 15, when a proper check is used. For this purpose, it is necessary to hold the check in fixed relation to the ejectin slide, as otherwise the the carrier by the pressure of the lookin pawl as shown in Fig. 16. In order toe ect such coperation between the check and the ejecting slide, I provide a stationary stop or projection 615 attached to the plate d and arranged thereon at such a point as to engage the check and force theejecting slide into releasing engagement with the pawl 610 at the moment that the notch 613 reaches said pawl during the turning movement of the carrier. This operation is shown clearly in Figs. 15 and 16and in the latter, I have shown the position that the parts will assume if a check with a flat edge is presented to the stationary portion elf. Under this condition, thepawl elo is not released and the carrier therefore cannotturn any farther.

' The carrier is returned to its normal position by means of a spring f which is connected at one end to a post f2 upon the stationary frame d, and at its opposite end the plate d on the carrier. In order to insure a complete movement ot the carrier v after it has passed the locking pawl e1", I provide the plate d with a notched edge f3, and ycoperating therewith is a pawl f4 pivoted upon the rod f5 and controlled by the spring 612 already mentioned, said spring having its opposite ends connected to the pawls f4 and e and serving to actuate both of them.

In Figs. 23 to 27 inclusive, I have shown the invention as applied to a slightly different type of machine, where it is desirable to eliminate the reciprocatory actuator, and to employ an operating handle at one side instead of at the front of the machine. In this form of construction, the controlling parts are the same as those I have already described, the operating means being mounted upon a shaft h which carries the operating handle h2. The carrier is provide with a sleeved extension upon which is mounted an arm h3 carrying the. pivoted pawl h, and the upon its adj acent` face a plurality of projections h6 arranged tobe engaged by sai pawl when the carrier is turned as shown in Fig. 27. In. this modified construction, the delivering device is continuously rotatable, having a pawl and ratchet connection with the check carrier and provide-d with 'a series of iat faces h" which coperate with the reversible delivering device h5 has articles of merchandise successively when to ride over the same during the return l ment, and a check movement oit-the carrier, nd the delivering device is held against return movement by means of a pawl its which is pivotally mounted upon the frame of the machine and engages the projections he 27 When the carrier. is returned to its normal position. i
